So...weird things happening in my house tonight.

I have asthma and it was kinda bothering me a few hours ago so I decided to take a hot shower; sometimes that helps.

About 5 minutes into the shower the water turns off. The tap was still on and everything, the water just stopped. That happened a couple times.
Then the smoke detector went off. The one upstairs is too close to the bathroom and sometimes the steam sets it off so I didn't think anything of it at first, but it went on for a few minutes; usually it just goes for a few seconds and stops. So I got out of the shower and it was the smoke detector two levels down that was going off, for no apparent reason. After another minute or two it just stopped. But then the one upstairs started and went for a few minutes.
I just moved into this house so I thought that maybe the old people hadn't changed the batteries for a while or something so I changed them all, but they still keep randomly going off on different floors.

And now my TV turns off about every ten minutes.

And there's a weird guy standing on the corner outside.

    are you sure they're just smoke detectors, and not also CO2 detectors? Also, some smoke detectors are linked. If one goes off, it sends a signal to all other detectors in the house to go off. Which is pretty smart, actually

    No, they're smoke detectors. They're super old as well. I think I'm going to have to get them replaced or something.
    I'm about to pull a Phoebe on them...I have to work in 6 hours and there's no way I'm getting to sleep anytime soon if this keeps up. :mad:

    Keep us informed if you see any ghosts!;):D

    I didn't believe in ghosts until I worked on a movie that shot at the Linda Vista Hospital in East L.A. So many scary things happened at that place... especially in the morgue down in the basement. That place changed my whole view on ghosts.:eek:

    They're old. When I get over this cold I'm going to replace them.

    When I got home from the Dr. today there were 2 lamps on and the shower was running :eek:

    Sounds haunted to me. Better get yourself some sweetgrass while your out purchasing new smoke detectors.

    Some smoke detectors have a "reset" button on them that should be pressed after each activation.

    Water turns off? Check that well pump!

    based on extensive movie watching experience i think you should stay in the house as long as possible and head towards any suspicious noises with the lights off whenever the opportunity arises

    Anyone see the movie The Strangers? A little drawn out, but not that bad for a horror movie.

    I read that the story is based off of Helter Skelter and some guy that came into the director's house when he was a child.

    he'll tap the old guy on the shoulder and when he turns around he wont have a human face

    but i agree... theres only one way to find out

    oh and if theres anyway you can put the life of a child in danger that will make this scenario even better
